Oh, well, then you're falling down on the job. Offhand, I can think of a dozen men around dogs that ought to be in jail. Oh, why don't you give me a list, Doc? I'm going to need somebody to bring the trial next week.

That's it? What do you mean? Well, there's a new circuit court judge coming. he's going to be disappointed if there's nothing for him to do. A new judge? Mm-hmm. What happened to Judge Brookings? I needed help, I guess, after all.
